Community support is
making the difference
By BRUCE GRIMSHAW
Havelock North Community
Constable
Recently I watched an
interesting television series in
relation to policing.
This series compared poli-
cing in four major cities:
Auckland, Oslo, Perth and
San Francisco. It showed how
each city was policed during a
given 24-hour period and com-
pared statistics for each.
Although Auckland had the
lowest number of officers per
head of population, their work
ethic compared more than fav-
ourably with the others.
Effective policing is more
than just having numbers on
the ground''.
While we will always want
more officers to ensure we do
the job properly, New Zealand
police have become adept at
using community resources to
make sure we get the job
done''.
The trick is to get the bal-
ance right between general
policing and community sup-
port. It is still a game of
numbers, after all, and I can
assure you we do need every
officer we can get.
There are not a lot of police
officers based in Havelock
North. However, we do enjoy
excellent support from Hast-
ings police to compensate for
any shortcomings.
Besides this, we enjoy
strong community volunteer
support to plug the gaps''.
This was brought home to
me at a recent impromptu
meeting held at the Havelock
North Community Policing
Centre.
Representatives from local
crime prevention groups, the
district council, community
patrols, the media and police
were discussing the new tele-
vision monitor for Havelock
North's CCTV security
cameras.
Individually, each person
present could offer something
different so a complete crime
prevention package could be
worked around the use of
these CCTV cameras.
In the future, one or two
more of these security
cameras should complete this
particular community poli-
cing'' approach quite nicely.
It proved to me that you get
the best results when those
with an interest in the prob-
lem are prepared to front up''
and help.
Local police can achieve
more in Havelock North
because community volun-
teers can assist with a co-
ordinated approach to being
our eyes and ears'' and so
either help prevent crime
directly, or at least lead the
police to the evil-doers.
While well-meaning volun-
teers must never be seen to
replace police to justify any
drop in police numbers, com-
munity support has a vital
role to play.
The more local people who
actively support their police,
the safer our community will
become.
I think we would all agree
this has been happening in
Havelock North, and is defi-
nitely the way to go. In this
respect, policing in New Zea-
land is a world leader and
long may it continue to be so.
